ComradeFrumkin:

Ihave read your proposals. I agree. We shall table them
in the Politbureau
today.[1]I have one other request.
Elaborate the addendum: “authorise a small commission,
Lezhava, Khinchuk, Frumkin+??, immediately to work out
a plan to cover this amount (100) with a special export
fund, raw materials, timber, etc., and to do this covering
most rigorously, with weekly reports. Designation: special
cover of urgent expenditure.”

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin

[1]Areference to a draft decision of the commission, consisting of
A. M. Lezhava, L. M. Khinchuk, P. L. Voikov and M. I.
Frumkin, which it took on June 24, 1921, on the need to buy grain in
foreign markets and to make available a 100-million ruble credit
for this purpose.

Onthis draft Lenin made the following remarks: “secret”, “to
the archives”, and added in the margin: “Two additions: =

1)
Weekly reports on the execution and course of this operation from
Lezhava + Frumkin + Khinchuk. =

2) Sent to Frumkin” (CentralParty Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the
C.P.S.U. Central Committee).

ThePolitbureau of the R.C.P.(B.) Central Committee took
account of these additions in its decision. “On Grain Purchases”,
adopted on June 25. In a telegram to Krasin in London, Lezhava
stressed that Lenin “specially requests more speed with the
purchase and delivery of the big consignment of grain” (Central Party
Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the C.P.S.U.
Central Committee).
